What Kind of Drug Test are Given?
Drug Testing is broken down in the following percentages: • Hair Testing — 5% Screen with GC/MS — 80% • Screen Only — 5% FPIA (Screen) — 5% GC/MS = Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Screen = EMIT – Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Test (Trade name for the most popular screen used in drug testing field manufactured by Dade Behring ) FPIA = Florescence Polarization Immunoassay – Abbott Labs version of a screen D.O.T – a DOT test is the abbreviation for a Department of Transportation. This means the testing guidelines have been regulated by the DOT, and if the guidelines are not followed the results are considered invalid. Not all tests are DOT regulated, but most are. To make the testing process easier companies follow the DOT guidelines to minimize mistakes. The first test for the DOT is a five panel EMIT. The cut off for marijuana on the screen is 50 ng/ml, which is a composite of all 31 metabolite concentrations.
